Dear ladies Has anyone recently applied for the "Good conduct certificate" and knows the procedure? As everything else in this country I find it hard to get the information straight. As I have understood you can apply for this at police stations, but which ones? And which one would then be closest to DSO? :) What do I need to bring exactly, and do you know how many days it would take. The reason for my application is to obtain a licence within tourism in Dubai. Thanks for your help S https://www.dubaipolice.gov.ae/dp/jsps/content/flat_content.do?contentCode=87255&switchLanguage=en&noCache=1413745099753 There is a number to call too

Hi, Does anyone know where I can buy both these items? I'm looking for baking soda which I believe is the same as bicarbonate of soda, but the ones I've found in Carrefour are very small and extremely expensive. Whilst I'm not looking for huge amounts I'd like a sensible size to do some cleaning :) What price are they? I thought the small tins of Brcarb were around AED5 which is cheaper than Tescos UK ;-) I have bought small 100ml bottles of peroxide at the pharmacy in the Greens and occasionally in Choitrhams

You can also pay for them online When registering the car, go to Barsha Mall. Testing bay for cars older than 3 years is in the carpark It is quieter to go there rather than SZR, you can also pay any outstanding fines

Yesterday itself I saw a mid-aged house maid cleaning a car. It doesn't feel right and, like you said, is heart breaking. I guess the best that people can do is to treat them with all the respect and give them the recognition that they deserve. take care xxx I dislike seeing the maids standing on a ladder cleaning the big 4x4s. I know I will get shot down for this but I think the man of the house should be doing that or take it to the carwash.

The Greens had some last year that were 1.1mil for a 1 bed. Studios may be cheaper still Great location, Emaar are one of the best developers in the UAE, clean, Green, close to shops, metro and malls plus we have a free bus that shuttles us to the metro Prices stay up as it is a very popular area and apartments are rarely empty for long

Hi I am a Singaporean, my husband recently got a job in Dubai (his residency is still in process), so we are here now. I need to do a visa run as my 30-day stay is running out. I need the most economical way of getting an extension stay. Advice anyone? If it is your first visit visa then you have up to 40 days to renew but do not go on the 40th day You can either drive to Hatta and renew for a further 30 days or go to Immigration in Bur Dubai and renew. The former is cheaper than going to immigration ( Immigration used to be AED500 and you can only do it once whereas at Hatta as many times as you want) I used to go to Hatta early on a Friday morning when the queues were smaller

Hi..I am looking for a good doc who can do fillers for under eye. I believe that besides the fillers doing their work, it's to be injected also artistically to give it a natural and even look. Anyone who has got it done here in Dubai and is happy with the results, pls share ur recommendations and experiences. Any experience with Cosmosurge ? I cannot give you advice on where to go but three surgeons i have used for fillers ( not under eye) are DR Allen Rezai DR Imran Tahir DR Jafar Khan I did speak to DR Allen about under the eye but he refused as filler is quite thick and can leave tiny visible lumps. He ahowed me pictures and they did look visible. I think it also depends on the height of your cheek bones too as if they are too high it can piff out the area under the eyes which make your face look strange. In a few years when i have all 3 fat pockets under the eye i am going to have blephorasty. My friend did it and it looks very good Good Luck

Has anyone taken some as gifts to the US? I'm not sure what to think as their customs website says dried fruit is allowed (like dates, apricots, etc) but not sure if Bateel dates qualify as dried fruit. Dates are classed as dried fruit so if they say they are allowed then there shouldn't be an issue

I think more and more Expats are leaving and jobs are being taken over by Indians, Africans and Middle East people. Yes they are cheaper to employ because they will take a lower wage, whereas Expats have spent a fortune on getting their degrees from a recognised university. Dubai is getting more and more expensive. So time to leave Let me add to this based on the little recruiting trends i know of. I don't know how to say this without offending anyone. For the western expats from UK and Europe. Honestly the Eastern Europeans have taken over from you. They are very affordable to hire, very nice and friendly people. Have degrees from UK, AU and US. With their EU passports they can travel for work anytime. So why pay more for someone who will deliver same job performance? More than half of UAE nationals age population is between 30 to 40 years old. The working class.They need jobs. Hence emaritization. Now you find nationals at receptions, schools, every sector. It's time to realize they want to work for themselves now. In ten years i don't think they will really expat talent. I lost a position i interviewed for late last year at the last stage, the management decided it should be allocated to nationals. The UAE market just woke up to diversity. I had a government company in AD insist a managerial technical position be filled by a Nigerian. His reason been that they are very outspoken and can handle pressure. So some of the new talents may not necessarily come cheap. Plus, most businesses are targeting African economies now. Maersk, UPS for example. The medical tourism Abu Dhabi just launched targeting Africa and Asia. The days of a high school certificate and a British accent holding a managerial position are over. ( no offence intended please).The competition is fierce. You need to see resumes to know what you are up against. The Indians will continue to get jobs, they are a cabal. And they really look out for themselves. But you know what? It will still be an attractive market to all of us. :) I am still working heavily on recruiting UK/US nationals for positions and rarely have my clients asked for Eastern European candidates. The preference is still for Indian/Filipinos/UK/US/SA Most of my clients are from the UK/US or India so I do disagree slightly. I am also seeing more UK nationals from the UK applying for roles in Dubai.

Hi all, we've been here five years and suddenly my hubby has just been told he lost his job. Massive job cuts where he works. Many many problems Obviously but there you go. My question is: will my 16 year old find a place in a school upon our return in a few weeks? He currently is a year 12 student in Doha College. Any advice much much appreciated. I would contact the schools in the area you are going back to They would give better advice than any forum can :-)

Hi SEY83, It's 5 days a week with reduced hours. I expected to get the full holiday allocation but was told differently ! Thanks We have had several ladies who work part time. They all work a 5 day working week, 4 hours a day. The law both at the MOL and the DIFC states you get the same amount of holidays as full time staff. It would only change if you did say 2 or 3 days per week I hope this helps

Hi Everyone! I'm hoping to find a good babysitter so that my husband and I can enjoy a meal out from time to time. Usually I would rely on family for help in this way, but obviously they're now thousands of miles away :(. Its a bit scary entrusting my children to someone else, so recommendations would be most welcome. I have two children, 12 and 8 years old. Also, I'm not sure of the going rate for a babysitter, so advice on this would also be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your help x Most of the maid agencies provide insured babysitters They can also tell you the costs

Hi - I have a flat in Dubai which I am considering selling or renting..I thought I should sell it as I will not be in the area but would like to ask how difficult is it to rent as an absent landlord? Can the tenant be responsible for paying all the charges on the property as part of the agreement and rent be paid to a bank outside UAE - or is such an arrangement difficult? Thanks. I imagine it's doable but annual charges are normally paid by the LL therefore you would have to reduce that amount from the rent plus pay the bank charge for the tenant to send the money to a non UAE one Your best bet would be to hire a property management company in Dubai to act as the go between

We were planning trip to Oman for Eid, crossing the border by car, but have just realized that our child's passport has less than 6 months' validity (short by 10 days). Our child has a second European passport (which does not have UAE visa). Does anyone know if it is possible to travel for this trip to Oman on the other passport? TIA As long as his residents visa is in date it is fine I flew to the UK and back to the UAE earlier this year with only a few months left on my passport. It was fine as my residents visa was valid

So I went to the hairdresser a couple of months ago and she very kindly highlighted my hair with bleach. I guess it's my fault because when I said I wanted it lighter I assumed she would use hair colour and not bleach - I should have clarified it. Anyway, the problem I now have is that my hair is falling out in handfuls when I wash it and also it's all sticking together. I'm really upset - has anyone got any ideas either how to stop the hair falling or how I can at least stimulate the hair growth / regrowth? I don't believe there is anything I can do about the hair sticking together until the bleach is grown out (which will take months!) :( Go and see a reputable hairdresser who can help. Depending on your current hair colour blonde to light brown they should of used a high lift tint

Husband and I seriously considering leaving Dubai, however I heard that you cannot leave Dubai if you have any debt. We own our house but still have an outstanding mortgage with a local bank. Does that mean that if the mortgage isn't paid off we cannot leave? Would love to know if anyone has been through this. TIA Will you rent the property out when you leave? I assume if you are not in arrears and will continue to pay the mortgage then all should be okay. Perhaps speak to the mortgage company as I imagine there will be many people doing the same as overseas investors I found this link from 2011 Read the one from the lady who said someone with a DIB mortgage did it I also found this with whom I bank with What if I am no longer a UAE resident however I am still holding an ADCB mortgage loan; will the terms of my loan change or will I need to settle my loan? You are requested to inform service desk unit prior to leaving the UAE so that your information can be updated in our system accordingly; the terms of your mortgage loan may be amended and will be subject to the approval of the bank on case to case basis (this can be communicated to you post internal review)

I'd be interested to see how you get on. I live in the Greens and work in Tecom, Tecom really is becoming a dump. it is about time they planted or paved the sand areas by the roads and put in proper paths. People with pushchairs or wheel chairs have real difficulty getting around here. I am also fed up with all the massage cards, can this not be stopped? I'm on Street 6 in the Greens and for a while we were getting the massage cards pushed under our apartment doors!! A few complaints to Emaar and they stopped.

It is very sad that lives are lost in war. Isn't that what Martyrs day is for, to remember people who gave their lives for their country? I know as Australia and New Zealand has ANZAC day for this reason. The UK and USA have Remembrance day. Iam sure other countries have days put aside for this reason. Yes Martyrs day is for the same reason as Anzac and Remembrance day.

Does anyone know of an electrician who actually has proper European/Western standard credentials and actually know what they are doing? I would be grateful for any input. Thanks Native English Electricians will not be working for handyman companies etc These guys will be senior managers within the private manufacturing/construction sector There is a market for them but companies will employ less qualified guys for a fraction of the cost.

Rant alert - I've been living in Tecom for the last 4 months (living in Dubai 4 years) and paying an absolute fortune for a pretty standard 2 bedroom apartment: 1) Neighbouring areas of Media City etc are kept absolutely spotless and Tecom is a complete rubbish tip. 2) There are no pavements apart from on the main road - From my building I have to walk with a stroller on the road to get to the nearest shop with vehicles flying past me. 3) Why is there no greenery apart from outside the odd serviced apartment? Even random roundabouts in the middle of nowhere have flowers and palm trees. 4) Why is flyering of 'special services' tolerated? As I write this I can see out the window 5 guys flyering cars with business cards advertising 'massage' services. This is not just a one off - everyday the ground is littered with these cards. Is this just a Tecom thing or are other areas similar? I am really fed up with the lack of care and attention given to the area and really tempted to start a [i'>Tidy up Tecom[/i'> campaign - although I have no idea where to start, if anyone has any suggestions. I am in the Greens and my UK friend summed Tecom as being the city and The Greens as the country I hate parking there due to the sheer influx of massage cards that end up on your car. I find it to be a concrete jungle with dire need of beautifying! I had also seen that the costs of a one bed are the same as the one beds in the Greens A friend rented an studio there in 2012 for 40k and now the same studio is going for AED75k!

I usually park on the sandpit opposite or on the street which is paid parking Quieter by Ace Hardwear and you can just walk over Sandpit was blocked of last time I went and difficult to find paid parking close by. That's something else that I factor in when doing anything in Dubai, ease of parking/access. I didn't know it was closed as I parked there 3 weeks ago Hmmm I don't know then. I am planning to park on the road so fingers crossed I get a space!

Sarahlou123 Not everyone has blond hair, many women have dark hair in Dubai. I know blond color is tricky so you are right in paying more to avoid disaster. I am talking about a normal color, a simple trim or a quick manicure. Why would someone pay double for this? If everyone was going as per recommendation only, these small salons will be out of business. Not everybody can pay this high price. One thing we are not paid "white or western package", secondly we are not blonds. I understand that but I will continue to recommend Ali to anyone that asks and is happy to pay their prices. If anyone recommends cheaper hair salons and they are good then recommend away
